I just wanna cry, I ate lowplaint lowfat yogurt, and saw
one of the ingredients was in red letters. So I decided, for whatever reason, to look it up...and the word I saw Aspartame/Phenylalanine is very bad for pregnant women to ingest. It is nutrasweet. I had no idea, and besides the word being red, there was no warning on the container saying not to eat if you are pregnant. I only ate two, but I am so freakin mad. Everyone says lowfat yogurt is good to eat, so I eat it and I end up eating something that is so bad for the baby.  And I have been doing so good eating healthy stuff.....
I hope he/she is ok

i eat yogurt all the time! most baby books will say to avoid artificial sweeteners, but you can only do so much. i am willing to bet that the protein and calcium your body is getting from the yogurt far outweighs any harm caused by the aspartame.

Don't worry!!! A little bit of anything will not hurt you or the baby!!
Going forward if you want to eat fat free yogurt, buy the Stonyfield Farm Organic Fat Free Yogurt. It does not contain Aspartame or Nutrasweet. I eat it all of the time!

Re: I just wanna cry, I ate lowplaint lowfat yogurt, and saw
it will be fine... just make sure the next lowfat yogurt you buy isn't sugar free... that's all....
I was at the in-laws house and everything to drink had caffeine or booze.... so I drank a juice... come to find out, it had nutrasweet in it 
everything is fine with crouton.. it takes more than that to mess up development! just do your best to avoid stuff, and the occassional slip-ups will do nothing....

Thanks so much for the replies ladies, I do feel better now. Honestly, aside from the day I found out I was preggo, this was the first time since, where I wanted to ball my eyes out.....except, in a bad way...... I just won't eat it anymore. Anyway, thanks again

eating two things of yogurt is not going to hurt you.

Re: I just wanna cry, I ate lowplaint lowfat yogurt, and saw
I chew gum with Phenylalanine in it just about every day. more so in the first tri than lately
Didn't realize it was a no-no or that it was in my gum until two weeks ago. Too late now to be the end of the world. *shrug*
I just severly cut back on it is all

I did the same thing in costco today! I got a sample of Dannon light and fit, but the moment I tasted it I could tell there was an artificial sweetner, so I checked the box and there it was... ASPARTAME!

I wouldn't worry--at least you're aware of it now!
As OP said, everything in moderation--I enjoyed a Diet Coke for the first time in 6 weeks last night, and it was GOOOOOOOD!

There is a big difference in eating one container versus many. You will be fine.

Don't worry, one container isn't going to do any harm. I had it a few times when I was pregnant, always by mistake, and DS was fine.
Avoid the lowfat yogurts unless it's plain lowfat, I think they all have aspartame or splenda.
